I have one idea of where this can be useful. The pom can contain SCM information to allow someone who is troubleshooting an issue know where they can find the source code for the object.
I am sure that there are other reasons, mainly surrounding use of other metadata or tags which are contained within the pom... but mostly for troubleshooting or identification purposes (especially when the version isn't known because someone used finalName). -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2012 2:11 PM To: [email protected] Subject: purpose of pom.xml in the META-INF What are the general reasons for having the pom deployed into the META-INF?
